Afraid

Falling for you was my biggest fear.
I was so afraid to begin know in it could end.
Afraid of holding you near.

I didn't want to fall in love.
I was so afraid that it would be nothing but a dream.
It was just to good to be reality.

So afraid of what could come to be.
Just scared to let you love me.

And I know you say that I can only be loved if I just let you in.
I've been broken down so many times and 
I don't want to take that chance.

And before I could even realize it,
You had made me fall in love with you.
I I'm scared but i guess I can give love a try.
Please don't leave me broken .
